NAME

       whohas - find packages in various distributions' repositories

SYNTAX

       whohas [--no-threads] [--shallow] [--strict] [-d Dist1[,Dist2[,Dist3 etc.]]] pkgname

DESCRIPTION

       whohas  is  a command line tool to query package lists from the Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, openSUSE, Slackware (and linuxpack-
       ages.net), Source Mage, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Fink, MacPorts and Cygwin distributions.

OPTIONS

       --no-threads
	      Don't use multiple threads to query package lists (will be much slower)

       --shallow
	      Limit to one call per server. Faster, but loses some information, typically package size and release date.

       --strict
	      List only those packages that have exactly pkgname as their name.

       -d Dist1[,Dist2[,Dist3 etc.]]
	      Queries only for packages for the listed distributions.  Recognised  values  for	Dist1,	Dist2,	etc.  are  "archlinux",  "cygwin",
	      "debian", "fedora", "fink", "freebsd", "gentoo", "mandriva", "macports", "netbsd", "openbsd", "opensuse", "slackware", "sourcemage",
	      and "ubuntu".

       pkgname
	      Package name to query for

FILES

       whohas uses various files in ~/.whohas to cache package lists for some distributions.

NAME

       Module::Packaged - Report upon packages of CPAN distributions

SYNOPSIS

	 use Module::Packaged;

	 my $p = Module::Packaged->new();
	 my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar');
	 # $dists is now:
	 # {
	 # cpan    => '1.08',
	 # debian  => '1.03',
	 # fedora  => '0.22',
	 # freebsd => '1.07',
	 # gentoo  => '1.05',
	 # openbsd => '0.22',
	 # suse    => '0.23',
	 # }

	 # meaning that Archive-Tar is at version 1.08 on CPAN but only at
	 # version 1.07 on FreeBSD, version 1.05 on Gentoo, version 1.03 on
	 # Debian, version 0.23 on SUSE and version 0.22 on OpenBSD

DESCRIPTION

       CPAN consists of distributions. However, CPAN is not an isolated system - distributions are also packaged in other places, such as for
       operating systems. This module reports whether CPAN distributions are packaged for various operating systems, and which version they have.

       Note: only CPAN, Debian, Fedora (Core 2), FreeBSD, Gentoo, Mandriva (10.1), OpenBSD (3.6) and SUSE (9.2) are currently supported. I want to
       support everything else. Patches are welcome.

METHODS

   new()
       The new() method is a constructor:

	 my $p = Module::Packaged->new();

   check()
       The check() method returns a hash reference. The keys are various distributions, the values the version number included:

	 my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar');
